Process Planning and Simulation Validate of Welding Line for BIW Based on DELMIA

Abstract:

Welding had always been paid attention to by the automobile manufacturers as one of the four technologies. This paper does process plan and simulation validate for BIW welding line using the virtual simulation technology based on DELMIA, including calculate the mainline beats and to determine the station number and function, simulate according to the layout, and output offline program at last. Practice had proved that this method can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, avoid delaying the progress of the project due to the pre-design problems.
